2. No, no, no!!! We do NOT need voter verified paper printouts!

Oh, good golly. I am going to have a heart attack.

First off, :yourock: for posting this and for talking to your Senator.

:)

Next, we cannot settle for a printout. A printout will just spit out a report from the database. If the database was hacked, then the printout will simply print out the hacked data.

We need to have verifiable paper ballots that can be matched up to the machine counts if needed.

Paper ballots. Voters cast their votes on the machine and the machine tallies their vote but creates a paper ballot as well.

Just curious - what state are you in?

BTW, I wasn't fussing at you. I was just startled and a bit scared there for a moment.
